Regarded as the ‘last of the wild west’ for its secluded location, diversity of wildlife, and salt-of-the-earth spirit that stirs one to awe, these are the Legacy Estates at Hogan Ranch situated in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Nestled near Boulder’s iconic red sandstone peaks, this land offers rare and unobstructed views of the Flatiron Mountains and rolling foothills as far as the eye can see.
The ranch is located just west of Highway 93 across the Boulder County border in Jefferson County and just south of the city of Golden. A high-altitude oasis that sits at 6,000 feet above sea level in the Rocky Mountains offers views of the majestic Eldorado Canyon only three miles away as the crow flies. The wildness here impresses both the experienced mountaineer and the casual hiker while the sparkling waters of Coal Creek intrigue the avid fisherman and offer sightings of native wildlife. With 300 days of sunshine a year and four distinct seasons, one becomes witness to nature's diversity while engaging sports enthusiasts in a full spectrum of Colorado’s outdoor activities.
Offered for purchase for the first time in nearly 150 years, these magnificent home sites lie within a historic family-owned cattle ranch that still operates today.
Each of the three sites is set on its own 35-acre parcel on the ranch’s property that occupies an expansive 450 acres of private land. What elevates this exclusive opportunity is the ranch’s surrounding land which is protected by the City of Boulder. This undeveloped open space stretches west of Hwy 93 and just south of the Boulder-Jefferson County line in Golden, Colorado. This piece of protected Colorado wilderness ensures the owner’s properties will have privacy for generations to come. Property owners have private access to Hogan Ranch’s hundreds of acres of land where trails can be used for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.
With each shifting season, from snow-dusted foothills in the winter to the technicolor show of wildflowers and deciduous aspen trees during fall, so transitions the area’s wildlife living amongst the ponderosa pine forests, swaying Cottonwood trees, and sparkling lakes that punctuate both the rocky terrain and the land’s lush valley. Here is where deer, elk, moose, bears, and mountain lions call home whose presence is only rivaled by the hawks, eagles, geese, and native birds seen from above. Together, they paint a place of an abundant paradise in the wild, wild west.
As an operating cattle ranch since 1876, the sights, sounds, and surroundings arouse a connection to an authentic lifestyle that has been run by the same Hogan family for seven generations. Beyond the wildness, lies a quietude that is hard to come by. Each lot for sale has been thoughtfully selected for its unrivaled views of the Flatiron’s, wide vistas stretching to downtown Boulder, the Denver skyline to the southeast, and across the unspoiled beauty of the Flatiron foothills.
Here, the true luxury is the land itself—offering modern homesteaders the chance to build a life of their wildest dreams.
Here, the land is the luxury. A life in the wild, tamed only by the limits of your imagination. Welcome to your Wild West.
